Boys' Hockey Wins 11-4 Over Narragansett
Although the Mariners score more than a single goal in a game, they give up 11 to a shorthanded Rogers, Tiverton and Rocky Hill co-op team.
KINGSTON - Ben Sanford had eight points and Sam Hallowell had four assists en route to an 11-4 win for the Rogers, Tiverton and Rocky Hill co-op Saturday night against the Narragansett Mariners.
Although Narragansett (0-3, 0-2 Division II-South) managed to score four goals, and actually held a 2-1 lead after a period, the Rogers, Tiverton and Rocky Hill co-op team had no problems scoring against a ragged Narragansett defense.
The Mariners were still in the game after two periods, only trailing 6-4. However, the Vikings (1-0, 1-0 Division II-South) scored seven unanswered goals, despite not having two full lines.
